What have you ever stolen? If their narrative is an alleged theft justifies execution, let's remind them who else they're throwing away.

@NSQE Well, isn’t the allegation “robbery” which requires the threat or use of force to commit larceny?

@longobord (In other words: the smear campaign is focusing on the idea that a bad actor deserves any outcome of the bad action. I disagree.)

@NSQE I’ve obviously been in law school too long.

@longobord Oh, that does happen. It takes a while for the brainwashing to settle out, and for you to learn to talk like a human again.

@NSQE Or even look at the situation like a human. "Did the officer have a reasonable apprehension of the suspect carrying a weapon?"

@NSQE But then since it was not /aggravated/ robbery, the claim is still not justified. It only means the officer knew he was unarmed.

@longobord But I'm not trying to focus on that, I'm just trying to focus on the smear campaign and how inappropriate it is.
